VFW Post 7788 News
Commander's Message |
| The new year is starting off well. We have already signed up 11 new members, but I also need our continuous members to renew their dues, as well. All that we do at the Post, in our helping our vets is paid for in part by them. Let's get them in early and strive to get our 100% before Christmas. If anyone has a problem let us know, and we will see if we can help. My officers and I are trying to plan some fun events for this year, as well as out standard programs and help is needed, so come on down and get involved if you can. There will no meeting this month, so that we can all enjoy the rest of the summer, but I hope to see more of you at the regular meeting in September. In closing I wish all of you a nice summer, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Yours in Comradeship.

PT 728
Coming to
the Milford Oyster Festival
August 15th and 16th
This summer, PT 728 will embark on a tour of ports in the lower Hudson region, Manhattan, and Long Island Sound. The “Profiles In Courage Tour” is dedicated to the memories of the soldiers and sailors of World War 2 and our most famous PT boat crew member, 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
The public is invited to come aboard for a visit and a ride. PT 728 is a floating and living history museum where you can experience speed, nostalgia, and honor the courageous sailors of the greatest generation.
Kingston’s PT Boat Museum has three PT boats in its “Fleet Obsolete” collection. ‘728’ is the only PT boat certified by the Coast Guard to carry passengers. These multi-engine, wooden vessels operated at speeds of up to 40 knots during combat, and were designed to be highly maneuverable in shallow waters.
